Monster Energy and Liver Damage

Monster Energy contains niacin (Vitamin B3), a vitamin that is toxic to the liver. The recommended daily dose is less than 20mg. In high doses, niacin accumulates in the liver and causes inflammation. This is also known as “non-viral hepatitis” or toxic hepatitis. In some cases, liver injuries are severe and fatal.

Niacin Energy Drinks Linked to Hepatitis

In November 2016, a 50 year-old construction worker who drank 4-5 cans of an energy drink every day for three weeks developed hepatitis. The energy drink contained 40mg of niacin, so he was consuming 160-200mg per day. In another case, a girl who consumed 300mg of niacin per day in energy drinks also developed hepatitis. Lower doses of niacin could also be toxic, especially for people at risk of liver disease.

Monster Energy Wrongful Death Lawsuit

The first wrongful death lawsuit against Monster Energy was filed in 2012.

Her cause of death was determined to be “cardiac arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity,” exacerbated by a pre-existing heart condition.

FDA Reports Serious Injuries & Deaths

• Death
• Caffeine toxicity

How Much Caffeine is in Monster Energy Drink?

Monster Energy Drinks contain 92-mg of caffeine per 8-fluid ounces, according to a study by Consumer Reports. The largest Monster energy drinks are sold in 24-oz cans. However, like most energy drinks, the amount of caffeine in Monster energy drinks is not listed on the label. Some products contain significantly more caffeine. For example, Monster X-presso contains 220-mg of caffeine per 6.8-fluid ounces, according to Consumer Reports.

What is the problem?

Energy drinks are essentially soda plus massive amounts of caffeine and other mystery ingredients. So how do manufacturers avoid federal limits on the amount of caffeine in beverages? By marketing them as “dietary supplements,” rather than food. Adding to the confusion on the consumer level, energy drinks are sold side-by-side with Coca-Cola and other sodas.
